  Wow what an absolute Gem of a place we came as a group of 7 over 3 generations and this suited everyone of us!

  We hadn’t travelled far (30 minutes) due to grandparents not being able to drive far but it definitely felt like a million miles away. Lots of beautiful places to visit on Dartmoor Widcombe in the moor, Hay Tor, Buckfast Abby just a few to name! The lodge was absolutely stunning and plenty of space the kitchen and open plan living/dining area was great everyone enjoyed cooking together and we even did some baking the kitchen is well equipped with everything you possibly needed our kids enjoyed the snug lounge as well they was plenty of cards board games to choose from. the log burner was ample amount of heating (we turned the radiators down) Our 2 dogs loved the outside garden all fenced in and plenty of room for them to have a mooch around. The hot tub was superb and the fairy lights around the fence was beautiful we sat out quite late a few nights just star gazing and listening to the owl. Jo and Max made us all feel very welcome right from the start with a wonderful hamper and messaged me after the first night to see how we were and if anything was needed and very kindly kept our logs stocked up! We all would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay we all fell in love with it and it ticked every box plus more!!!! We are actually looking at dates for next year Thanks again Jo & Max in your hospitality from all of us!

  The Cider Barn is a fabulous cottage, attached to the owners' property one side and to another holiday home the other side.

  It feels quiet and not overlooked and the thick stone walls mean that it is very quiet. The cottage is so quaint and has all the amenities you'd need, indeed most things seem brand new. It was really useful having the washing machine/dryer as the weather wasn't kind to us. We were there a week and the whole time we felt relaxed and happy. The local pub is an easy 20 minute walk and serves excellent food. We liked how easy it was to get to the place from the motorway/major roads and then the simplicity of travelling to the local beaches. We would have liked a folder of the local beaches, where to park, etc as we didn't know the local area. That said, Julie and Phil were great hosts with advice, when we asked them. We liked the fact that there was plenty of space for the 4 of us - wardrobes and drawers in both bedrooms, plenty of space in the kitchen area and it was lovely to be able to 'move in' for the week and not live out of suitcases, which you have to do with smaller apartments. The cottage does not have a grass area - just the picnic bench area shown on the photos but you can roam the farm and there is a swing/slide area. Overall, we were delighted with the accommodation, the area and facilities nearby. A great place for a week of relaxation and sunshine. The kids are pleading for us to rebook for next year!

  Wow! What a lovely cozy completely refurbished cottage with all our needs catered for.

  We originally wanted a cottage with a real fire but we both loved the real like electric fire and decided it was better without the hassle of making it up after long walks bagging tors. The kitchen was more than fully equipped and everything was very good quality as the owners have a real detail for providing the best. The garden was lovely with the seating area but too cold for us to use but be lovely in the summer. Big spacious bedrooms with large king size beds and one en suite and even though we were almost on the Main Street it was very quiet. We loved the location being in the centre of Chagford with a good selection of artisan shops and being opposite Blacks the most amazing deli where we bought soups and cakes for our walks and three really lovely food pubs - The Three Crowns, The Globe and our favourite The Chagford Inn. We also recommend breakfast in The Old Forge Cafe. There’s an excellent wine shop selling local beer and cider and a bakery, greengrocers and butchers. We particularly loved the bell ringing on Tuesday evening for 90 minutes. We also managed to park on the street for free. We notice from the visitors book that many people stay for a second time and we can see why! Thank you to our hosts for making such a wonderful holiday stay

  I am sorry but this is supposed to be pet friendly but apart from a small garden the only other walk is the drive.

  To take you dog for a walk you have to drive unless you like to walk single lane roads. The hot tub is under power probably not maintained properly. the tv in the front room is on its last legs. the property itself is not clean there are cobwebs everywhere they have been in place for a long time as they are covered in dust. the sofa if you lift the cushions well that has not been cleaned for months. They do not even move them to clean under them, the bathroom floor is in poor condition very near ready to replace, the cabinet in the bathroom has not been cleaned for a long time. For what is supposed to be luxury accommodation has slowly been left to deteriorate. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone. If this sounds unfair then you are looking at what it should be as we saw it first a lovely property but the longer you are there the more you see that has not been maintained or cleaned.

  The lodge is in a very ideal location for exploring Dartmoor, Torbay and the rest of South Devon.

  We didn't meet many of the staff but the ones we did meet were very friendly and helpful. This is probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Everything was spotless and felt brand new. It looks exactly like the photos on the site. The double bed was a little uncomfortable though and also the pillows. WiFi was very good - no issues streaming. The showers were great. The kitchen was very well equipped. The cupcakes left for us were amazing! There were 4 of us in total (2 adults, 2 children) plus our dog. Unfortunately we decided to leave a couple of days early before the arrival of Storm Ciaran but we would definitely return to this site and would highly recommend it.
